This quick-to-knit cowl uses bulky yarn and a big needle for instant gratification! Use two or three skeins of Magnum and leave out the buttonholes for a luxurious scarf.

The pattern uses knit and purl stitches, and has a simple four-stitch cable (clearly explained in the Abbreviations section of the pattern). Requires a cable needle, and either 4 buttons or a stick pin closure.

Many thanks to my test knitters, their valuable feedback made the optional buttonholes better!
